Hanna tester reagent

[cactusreef]

There’s got to be a better way than these little squares that require me to cut open and fold and try my hardest to get it all out without spilling. Why can’t we get a large container with a tiny spoon or something.

What is everyone’s technique?

I use Salifert first for N and P. If the numbers are below the low range of their tests, or if the phosphates come out higher than 0.1, then I test with Hanna, because of the cut and fold.

Not a bad idea.

I agree op on the packets. I have neck and shoulder issues and find it tedious. I like the scoop and larger container idea if the reagents can be stable like that or even small version of the rip and pour water bottle flavor packets you see all over the place...

Agreed the packets are sometimes hard to get all of the powder out. I stopped testing quite a while ago, and nothing looks any different lol.

That’s a good idea. Like a little plastic vial of liquid instead of powder.
